Medic Abdullah Qatati, who received a gunshot wound to the head, and
55-year-old Ali Saeed Aloul, died and about 240 other protesters
sustained injuries, the Gaza Ministry of Health said.

Palestinian news agency WAFA reported Israeli snipers opened fire on the
protesters to disperse them. The demonstrators were taking part in the
20th consecutive week of protests at locations along the border. The
demonstrations, named the Great March of Return, call for the return of
refugees to their homes and lands from which they were displaced in
1948.

The Israeli military said Palestinians threw a grenade at Israel Defense Forces in northern Gaza, Haaretz reported.

The Gaza Health Ministry said more than 159 Palestinians have been killed since the protests began March 30.

Friday's clashes came one day after reports that Israel reached a
cease-fire agreement with Hamas. Israeli sources denied such a truce had
been reached, Ynet News reported, but a senior Hamas official said the
agreement would go into effect at midnight.
